"It is in The Air"
By Me
This is that special time of year
When people far and people near
Will feel quite calm and free of care
And say that "Love is in the air".
"Love", I think, there may well be,
But it has passed quite over me!
Love never makes her stricken wheeze,
And mine keeps comp'ny with a sneeze!
My nose is stuffed, my eyes are red,
If I cough more I'll lose my head!
If "Love" is there, it's surely stallin'
But in its place is nasty pollen!
Okay. So maybe slightly cheesy, but it amused me! :) I wrote it for our Girls' Gazette.
So, for a quick update on my authoring...the test families have almost all read my book and answered my questions. As soon as that is done, I shall make corrections, and then look for a publisher! I'm really excited about how the Lord is bringing this together, but I would appreciate your prayer concerning where to get my book published. I know self-publishing is an option but you have to front the money for that, whereas in traditional publishing, they pay you. You know? I also have a vision to publish it in a Christian company, and one that publishes books of good report. No sappy romance novels for me thankyou! :)
Most of you know that my vision for writing is not to become famous. (Not like I think I would or anything!) I am not doing this for a "career" or for my own glory. I have a vision to write books for families and girls that are wholesome, pure-hearted, written from a Biblical world-view, but are also amusing. The Elsie Dinsmore books didn't quite cut it for me as a youngun' because I was constantly feeling irritated by her refusal to say she didn't scribble in the book, because it would be tattling or something equally...excessive. (The stories were okay though)
Okay. So just a rambling writing post! Gotta go do the dishes! -Rach
